Chapter 3545: They Didn’t Call Me at All
Editor: Atlas Studios
An hour later.
Nie Qingru’s car rolled over the fallen leaves as it drove into the Nie residence.
She called Nie Tao before coming. The living room was filled with both old and young, but the atmosphere was too heavy.
Everyone sat in their seats. They either had their heads lowered while drinking coffee or looked out the window. No one spoke.
Even the weak Old Master Nie made an appearance. He looked at everyone as he was wheeled into the living room by a Filipino maid.
“Dad.” Nie Tao went over to help the Filipino maid push the wheelchair to the center.
The other members also put down their miscellaneous tasks and looked at Old Master Nie, greeting him respectfully.
Old Master Nie did not look at anyone. His voice sounded tired as he asked, “Where’s Qingru? She hasn’t arrived yet?”
Nie Tao answered truthfully, “She called me and said she’s on the way. She should be here soon.”
Old Master Nie stopped talking.
…
In fact, Nie Qingru had arrived outside the residence while they were talking.
Before entering, she received a call from the council member on good terms with the Nie family. Just as she placed the phone to her ear, an anxious voice came from the other end.
“Empress, I only agreed to help them because of you. In the end, things have turned out like this. The media is clinging to me and won’t let me go. The higher-ups have already begun to investigate me…”
There was no explicit blame in the other party’s words, but every word was accusatory.
Nie Qingru took a deep breath, and her pitch-black eyes revealed a hint of coldness. “Councilman Allen, you’re blaming me.”
